Top MLB Picks for June 25
Today’s MLB slate offers several intriguing matchups and betting opportunities. We have analyzed the latest data and trends to provide you with the best picks for today’s games. Whether you are looking for prop bets, game totals, or moneyline wagers, we have you covered.
Washington Nationals vs. San Diego Padres
The final game of the three-game series between the Washington Nationals and the San Diego Padres is set for 4:10 PM EST. The total for this game is set at 7.5 runs, which we believe is too low. The previous games in the series have been high-scoring affairs, with Game 1 combining for 13 runs. Additionally, the current game has already seen six runs through four innings, with added excitement from a bench-clearing skirmish. Both starters, DJ Herz and Dylan Cease, have struggled recently, making the over 7.5 runs a strong play.
Best Bet: Nationals/Padres Over 7.5 (-115)
New York Yankees vs. New York Mets
In the Subway Series, the New York Yankees face off against the New York Mets at 7:10 PM ET. One of the top prop bets for this game is Gerrit Cole under 5.5 strikeouts. Cole is returning from injury and had a limited pitch count in his first start of the season. Even if he increases to 80 pitches, the Mets have a team strikeout rate of 21.2%, which ranks 19th in MLB. Recently, the Mets have been striking out less frequently, making this under a solid bet.
Best Bet: Gerrit Cole Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+120)
Toronto Blue Jays vs. Boston Red Sox
The Toronto Blue Jays take on the Boston Red Sox at 7:10 PM ET. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is a key player to watch in this matchup. Guerrero Jr. has excellent numbers against Red Sox starting pitcher Brayan Bello, with a .412 average and seven hits in 17 at-bats. Despite not having his best home run season, Guerrero Jr. has high hard-hit rates and exit velocity metrics. Betting on him to get over 1.5 total bases is a smart play.
Best Bet: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Over 1.5 Total Bases (-125)
Philadelphia Phillies vs. Detroit Tigers
The Philadelphia Phillies face the Detroit Tigers at 6:40 PM ET. Tarik Skubal is a favorite to win the AL Cy Young award due to his elite strikeout ability. He has gone over 6.5 strikeouts in seven of his fifteen starts this season. The Phillies have the ninth-highest strikeout rate against left-handed pitching, making this over a strong bet.
Best Bet: Tarik Skubal Over 6.5 Strikeouts (+125)
Cleveland Guardians vs. Baltimore Orioles
The Cleveland Guardians and the Baltimore Orioles clash at 6:35 PM ET. Both teams have top 10 offenses in runs scored per game, SLG, OPS, and home runs. Cleveland’s starting pitcher Logan Allen has a high ERA and WHIP, while Baltimore’s Cole Irvin shows signs of regression. With favorable weather conditions for hitting, betting on over 9.5 total runs is a good choice.
Best Bet: Over 9.5 Total Runs (+100)
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Chicago White Sox
The Los Angeles Dodgers take on the Chicago White Sox at 8:10 PM ET. Shohei Ohtani is expected to have a standout performance. Chris Flexen, the White Sox pitcher, has struggled with a 5.03 ERA. Betting on Ohtani to get over 2.5 total bases is a strong play.
Best Bet: Shohei Ohtani Over 2.5 Total Bases
Minnesota Twins vs. Arizona Diamondbacks
The Minnesota Twins face the Arizona Diamondbacks at 9:40 PM ET. Brandon Pfaadt has had a poor June performance, with a 4.37 ERA. Royce Lewis has been impactful since returning from injury, making the over 2.5 earned runs allowed by Pfaadt a solid bet.
Best Bet: Brandon Pfaadt Over 2.5 Earned Runs Allowed
Chicago Cubs vs. San Francisco Giants
The Chicago Cubs take on the San Francisco Giants at 9:45 PM ET. Helio Ramos has been having a breakout season, batting .318 in June. Cubs’ starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks has struggled with a 7.46 ERA. Betting on Ramos to get over 1.5 hits, runs, and RBIs is a strong play.
Best Bet: Helio Ramos Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
